I've got two candidates one manufactured by Macally model number phr-100ac, the other a Prolific Technology model number ST31023 both have been reviewed good by friends of mine. The problem is i've not had great success with usb2 drive enclosures, a newbox is coming with usb2 and i'd like to get one for data transport. If anyone has any experience with either of these enclosures or could recommend one i'd appreciate it. Thanks. Dave.
